AfriNIC Public Policy Meetings which are held twice a year attract important industry professionals in a very open and cooperative environment. They provide a unique opportunity for all Internet related organizations to get together and have their say in the Internet Policies governing our region, through policy development and discussions, through sharing of technical know-how, and tutorials and training. Local meeting hosts thus receive optimum exposure being associated with such events and particularly in collaboration with AfriNIC, being a key player in IP address distribution and Internet development in the region. The local hosts are publicly seen as making a positive contribution to the service of our whole Internet community.

The local hosts also benefit largely as they are mentioned in most of our marketing and communication material and their logo and name present on site. This exposure can be doubled through a press conference held locally. We therefore encourage you to become our local host and contribute to Africa’s progress and development.
